This is quite an important section as it outlines the forces present for both factions at the start of the battle. Although there are stats for each individual NPC, the statblocks are not organized into ready-to-use encounters and some of the statblocks are incorrect. For example, the Zetan leaders Xarn and Nok are supposed to have a higher mind stat to reflect their scientist stats but they do not (though they seem to have higher resistances from the inertia suppression shield). Sally Jessup's statblock is also incorrect; she is supposed to be a stronger version of the mercenary from the core rulebook but at present she has less HP, damage resistance etc. I haven't checked every statblock but there seems to be a pattern here. Namely, any statblock which that doesn't appear in the text directly and is instead some a variation of [x statblock from another book + modifications] should be checked for accuracy.
Additionally, there is a typo in the members of the "final" zetan forces present in the end of the battle. "Xarn," "Super Mutant," "Xarn" is what appears. Xarn is listed twice. And even if the Super Mutant statblock is the same, technically it should be labelled "Alien Abomination."
